PayPal Business accounts can use both bank accounts and cards as payment methods. Credit and debit cards are the types of cards most often used with PayPal, but prepaid credit cards can also be used. With PayPal and any merchant you pay with PayPal, payments made with a prepaid credit card will appear as if they were paid with a standard credit card. The ability to use a prepaid credit card can be very useful, especially if you don’t want to expose your business credit card to PayPal.

1. Log in to your Business PayPal account and open the “Profile” tab in the menu bar.

2. Select the “My Money” option from the Profile page and click the “Update” button in the “Debit and Credit Cards” section.

3. Click the “Add a Card” button and type in your prepaid credit card details. Click the “Add Card” button when done to add your prepaid card to your Business PayPal account. To use the prepaid card, select it as your payment method from the drop-down list when you go to pay for an item.
